The first copy of Ed. H. Graham’s new paper, the Morocco Courier, was issued last week. Perhaps it would be more correct to call it an old paper revived, for Mr. Graham formerly published a pap&> at.

Murray -went to Ind- ! ianapolis Monday, to represent the Rensselaer lodge, Knights of Pythias, at the annual meeting of the State Grand Lodge.

The grocery man looked attentively at the picture a. moment and said: “I never looked at it that way before.” Honest and reliable work,neatly - and promptly done, and at fair prices, is now, as always, both precept and practice at The REpubli--GAy-job printing office. Our facilities for job work are constantly being added to, by the purchase of new type and other printing ma-terial,-and this week a large and very, superior job press has been received, thereby" enabling u 5 to do finer work and print larger forms than heretofore.

The County Beard of Equalization had only one grievance to dispose of, at. their annual meeting last Monday. The State Citizens’ Bank, of Rensselaer, had the assessment of its capital stock reduced from $30,000 to $15,000. Otherwise the reports of all the assessors were adopted as made. The June term of the circuit court opened Monday. The state cases disposed of are: Eight indictments against Michael Fite, for selling liquor without license, were dismissed, the defendant having left _ the state. S. H. Duvall was tried by a jury on the charge of giving liquor t;o a minor, and acquitted. Washington Cook was acquitted on the charge of His case was also trifed by a jury. We call the attention of all persons in want of binders to the fact that we do, not warrant our Deering and Triumph binders; but the companies that manufacture them do, and they are not ashamed of their goods. Their guarantee goes with every machine, and we throw in the railroad fares; and will sell you a binder as cheap as any other firm in town—and charge nothing extra for wind.

To make this first fruit festival of the season, a delight to all, no painsu will be spared by the ladies and friends of the Society. See bill. From the multiplicity of concurring reports, it would seem that the proposed east and west railroad through this portion of Indiana, is a settled matter. In fact it is stated on what we believe- is reliable authority that the contract -for-Hto"-construction- has alreadybeen closed, and it is also said that work upon that portion of the road which will be iu Ohio is already under full headway. The road can scarcely avoid coming through Rensselaer. Among the notable patriarchs of Jasper county is Johnathan Frazee, who now lives with his son-in-law, A. W. Cleveland, in Milroy township. The old gehtleman is eighty years old, to-day, but is still alert in body and bright and cheerful in mind. He says that when sixty years old he found himself acting and feeling pretty old, and after reflecting over the matter he made up his mind that he would remain young in mind and body,.let his years be what they might, and by the strength usf bis "resolution he has conquered the infirmities of age.
